The Grand Hotel Kempinski, located in the heart of Geneva,
has officially reopened. After two years of renovation works the hotel offers
stylish, contemporary accommodation, a new restaurant concept and ample conference and meeting space.
The Grand Hotel Kempinski Geneva is
located at the shores of Lake Geneva, with views over the Jet d’eau (Geneva’s
famed water fountain) and the Mont Blanc. The refurbishment started in 2005 and was conducted in two stages. Skillfully designed by tjca
architects from Geneva, the aim was to make the lake the reference point of all public areas and to blur the border between building and
water.
Deceptively simple materials have been
used in the public areas, such as
velvet in beige and burgundy tones with the occasional touch of light blue to subtly recall the ever-present lake. All 423 rooms, including 43
suites feature all modern amenities such as satellite TV and wireless Internet access.
An entirely new concept in food and beverage, the second floor – hence the name ‘FLOORTWO’ – places side by side a restaurant, a lounge
and a bar. While each venue has its own specific feel and culinary style, guests can choose to order from the menu of any of the venues.
During summer, the restaurant and bar will be extended by the spacious, maritime-styled terrace, again offering magnificent views over the
lake.
The hotel hosts
one of the largest in-house conference facilities in town, where a 630 m² ballroom features prominently. Other amenities include an
indoor salt-water swimming pool with sauna, massage facilities, steam bath and techno-gym equipment. On the ground floor, a large luxury
shopping arcade features an art gallery, deluxe jewelers and fashion boutiques.
Opening
rates start from €270 (approx. £187).
